Grits are a unique food, and it takes skill, practice and a bit of luck to have them turn out just right.
Do not eat grits at Waffle House type places. Grits have a shelf life of only 5 minutes. After that they start to harden into cement. Lots of butter and salt.
Cheese grits are even more delicious. And fancy restaurants turn it up with shrimp and bacon.
This is one of those moments where it really matters who you trust to feed you your first bite of grits. One taste of bad grits will be your last taste of them.
I grew up eating grits and scrambled eggs together. Yum!
